Definitions
- the present invention relates to a conductive, tenacious and protective coating for a metallic substrate, such as steel, aluminum, iron, platinum, silver, nickel, gold, cobalt, copper or copper alloys and zinc. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of grafting a conductive and protective coating containing nickel on a metallic substrate, such as steel and aluminum, to form a coating that not only protects the substrate but also provides minimal electrical resistance. The present invention also relates to a composition for graft polymerizing a conductive, tenacious, and protective coating on a metallic substrate and to a metallic substrate coated with a conductive, tenacious, and protective coating.
- Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) shielding for computers and other electronic devices in order to comply with both regulatory and functional requirements often requires the designers to provide a highly conductive enclosure that completely surrounds the device to the maximum extent possible and with the lowest surface resistivity (Rs) possible. This concept is often referred to as creating a ⁇ Faraday Cage ⁇ around the product and is highly effective in containing electromagnetic fields and also in preventing their entry.
- EMI Electro-Magnetic Interference
- the enclosures In addition to providing a low resistance for electro-magnetic interference (EMI) currents, the enclosures must also meet electro-static discharge (ESD) requirements where similarly low surface resistivities must be achieved. Since these enclosures may be exposed to environmental conditions such as a relative humidity of 75-80%, a temperature exceeding 100° C., chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, nitrous oxide, and oxidation, the metal portions of the enclosures need to be protected so that the metal does not corrode.
- ESD electro-static discharge
- the mating surfaces of the metal parts used to create the enclosure must be joined in a manner to minimize electrical resistance across the joints.
- conductive gaskets, spring fingers, and other appliances are commonly used in these areas to provide maximum contact area between the mating pieces with the minimum use of fasteners. It is in these areas, particularly, that the metal surfaces be corrosion resistant, tenacious, and have the lowest possible surface resistivity. It is also desirable to minimize galvanic corrosion that can occur when dissimilar metals come into contact. It is generally accepted that surface resistivities of 0.1 ohm/square or less are necessary to maintain the shielding effectiveness required for these applications.
- Zinc chromates are coatings that are used for protecting metal surfaces and are not inherently conductive. Placing chromate coated sub-assemblies together to build an enclosure does not guarantee electrical conductivity between subassemblies due to the non-conductive property of the zinc chromate. The uncertainty of electrical conductivity between the outer subassemblies in an enclosure makes the enclosure less than ideal for EMI shielding and ESD protection.
- spring contacts sometimes called finger-stock, attached to an enclosure, bulkhead or subassembly, are intended to make electrical contact with mating parts of the enclosure or bulkhead or subassembly in order to create an electrically continuous shield.
- Zinc chromate coatings are easily displaced and spread to allow the spring contact to make contact with the metal substrate, thus making electrical contact with the metal substrate. As the zinc chromate coating is displaced to allow electrical contact, the metal substrate becomes exposed to the environment and subsequently corrodes.
- the metal platings are also subject to wear, vibration, and handling problems. As these coatings are applied at minimal thicknesses to minimize cost and are physically rather than chemically bonded to the substrate materials, these are susceptible to removal by ⁇ normal ⁇ abrasion when used with working gaskets and spring contacts. These platings are also susceptible to galvanic corrosion when contacting dissimilar metal surfaces. There is also a phenomena known as ⁇ fretting corrosion ⁇ which occurs with minimal mating pressures and is associated with metal migration/loss across the boundary area. In these cases, base metal corrosion occurs and environmental protection is lost. Also, in some instances, aesthestics are impacted due to surface contamination and discoloration. Therefore the tenacity of these coatings is not sufficient for electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements of enclosures.

- Surface resistivity is a quantitative measure of the ability of a surface to conduct electricity. It is measured in units of electrical resistance (ohms) per unit of square surface area.
- the square area can be any convenient size as long as the surface areas measured are square and equal and the area between them are equal. This is the accepted method of measuring conductive surfaces. Regardless of the size of the square chosen, the results will be equal as long as the area of each probe and the spacing between them are equal and the surface being measured is uniform. As the method is not dependent on the absolute size of the square area chosen, units of area are excluded from the units, ohms/square.
- Measurements are in units of ohms per square made with a fixture consisting of a 3 psi (0.021 MPa) spring and two square surface areas (y ⁇ y) of y distance apart. These two surface areas (probes) are of a highly conductive material such as solid copper or brass. The two square surface areas at a pressure of 3 psi (0.021 MPa) make contact with the uniform flat surface to be measured. The two square surface areas are connected to an ohmmeter from which readings are made.
